c) There is a person in your class who cannot swim.
d) All students in your class can solve quadratic equa-
tions.
e) Some student in your class does not want to be rich

Answer 1

(a) Let P(x) - ''x is in your class", Q(x) - " x has a cellular phone"

1. When the domain consists of the students in your class

$\forall x: Q(x)$

2. When the domain consists of all people

$\forall x:P(x)\to Q(x)$

(b) Let P(x) - ''x is in your class", Q(x) - " x seen a foreign movie"

1. When the domain consists of the students in your class

$\exists x:Q(x)$

2. When the domain consists of all people

$\exist x:P(x)\to Q(x)$

(c) Let P(x) - ''x is in your class", Q(x) - " x cannot swim"

1. When the domain consists of the students in your class

$\exists x:Q(x)$

2. When the domain consists of all people

$\exist x:P(x)\to Q(x)$

(d) Let P(x) - ''x is in your class", Q(x) - " x can solve the quadratic equations"

1. When the domain consists of the students in your class

$\forall x: Q(x)$

2. When the domain consists of all people

$\forall x:P(x)\to Q(x)$

(e) Let P(x) - ''x is in your class", Q(x) - " x does not want to be rich"

1. When the domain consists of the students in your class

$\exists x:Q(x)$

2. When the domain consists of all people

$\exist x:P(x)\to Q(x)$
